Abstract

Given the polynomials f, g ∈ Z[x] the main result of our paper, Theorem 1, establishes a direct one-to-one correspondence between the modified Euclidean and Euclidean polynomial remainder sequences (prs’s) of f, g computed in Q[x], on one hand, and the subresultant prs of f, g computed by determinant evaluations in Z[x], on the other. An important consequence of our theorem is that the signs of Euclidean and modified Euclidean prs’s - computed either in Q[x] or in Z[x] - are uniquely determined by the corresponding signs of the subresultant prs’s. In this respect, all prs’s are uniquely "signed". Our result fills a gap in the theory of subresultant prs’s. In order to place Theorem 1 into its correct historical perspective we present a brief historical review of the subject and hint at certain aspects that need - according to our opinion - to be revised.
